I haven't written in over two months. I have spent the majority of my time very close to my mother who is in the last days of her life. The rest of my life has been pretty much on hold.  However my brother sent me a fascinating article about the theory that the pyramids were actually built as giant sound chambers. I have been aware of this for a long time- also the theory that sound was actually used to move the stones that were used in the building of the pyramids. That being said, in the interest of furthering the knowledge of the amazing potential of sound and the awareness of the possibilities of its use- past, present and future- I am posting this article.
Richard Hoagland is a fascinating guy.  I had his film on the 
Face on Mars and
 watched it several times almost 20 years ago but my boys were all 
teenagers at the the time and recorded over the video! Eventually I will
 have time to sit down again and write more of my own words but in the 
meantime there is lots of interesting information that I can share with a
 simple link or insert! Enjoy...

    Filmmaker Boris Said and Researcher Richard Hoagland Agree and 
 Disagree
    Both Richard Hoagland and Boris Said are vocal about their 
 suspicions that others in their field of interest -- Egypt -- 
 are hiding what they know or have discovered, and for a variety of reasons.
    Boris does not conclude the cover-up is a conspiracy, but believes 
 instead the Egyptians are most interested in the new discoveries being made 
 by Egyptians and any delay would be caused by pride. 
    Richard, on the 
 other hand, is convinced that certain officials in charge of granting 
 permits for excavation and study and releasing information on discoveries 
 are deliberately hiding or blocking some of the most extraordinary 
 possibilities. They joined Dr. Bob Hieronimus together on March 8, 
 1998 to discuss both the areas upon which they agreed and where they 
 disagreed.
    
    Richard Hoagland is a former science consultant to Walter 
 Cronkite, CBS News, CNN and NASA, 
 and an advocate of the artificial creation theory for the anomalous Face and "pyramids" Mars. In August of 1993 he received the 
 Angstrom Foundation Medal for Excellence in Science. His Mars 
 anomalies research led him to the study of the ancient mysteries in 
 Egypt when he noticed the striking similarities between the Face on 
 Mars and The Sphinx. He says there is "a real set of 
 connections that we now can prove connects this extraordinary complex on 
    Mars at Cydonia with an equally extraordinary complex on Earth at Giza."
    
    Boris Said has a very unusual biography beginning with an education 
 at Princeton University and a fluent knowledge of several languages 
 including Russian, French, Italian, Spanish and English. From 1953-1980 
    Boris was a sportsman and attained several automobile racing speed 
 records. He was a member of the U.S. Olympic Bobsled Team in 1968 and 1972, 
 and in 1980 Said began the transition to film work as he both drove the 
 four-man bobsled at the Lake Placid Olympics and worked on TV interviews for 
 ABC. 
    Since 1983 his credits have included writing, producing and directing 
 documentaries on bobsledding, dolphins, a Zulu witch doctor, and other 
 varied topics. The 1994 NBC TV feature documentary that he produced with
    John Anthony West, "The Mysteries of the Sphinx" hosted by 
    Charlton Heston, was awarded an Emmy.
    
    Boris first learned about the mysteries surrounding the monuments in 
 Egypt and the questions about their origins from John Anthony West, 
 when in 1990 West asked him to help make this documentary. West was 
 working with Boston University geologist Dr. Robert Schoch whose 
 ground breaking work indicates that the age of the Sphinx 
    is thousands of years older than the Egyptian civilization itself. 
"I 
 came to it with no opinions whatsoever," says Boris, regarding the 
 controversial debates on the new findings. 
"I mean, I didn't know. I had 
 just about figured that Egypt was spelled with a "y" and Sphinx was spelled 
 with an "i", and I had those backwards for a while.... I listened to
    Robert Schoch the first trip explain why the Sphinx was 
 older than 4-5000 years, and it just made perfect sense to me, I mean, 
 nothing could have been more obvious. The marks were there, it was in the 
 stone, and so I got interested right from the start in... an alternative 
 viewpoint to the age, and perhaps the meaning, of those monuments."
    In his bio, Boris states his life goal is to prove the existence of 
 ancient, highly advanced civilizations on our planet, perhaps our true 
 ancestors. It's a new life goal for him, he says. 
"My life's goal used to be 
 to go faster than anybody else, but now I'm doing something a little 
 headier, and it came from my initial exposure to Egypt, and I've got to 
 thank John Anthony West for that."
 
 
    WHO BUILT THE PYRAMIDS?
    
    To this eternal question, Boris says, 
    
"they were Egyptians, they lived in 
 Egypt. I mean... we've called them variously "Atlantians" and, 
 I suppose, "Little Green Man from Mars", but that was Egypt, and so 
 therefore, to me, they're Egyptians." 
    He says there is no way the pyramids 
 were intended to be tombs for Pharaohs. 
    
"They've never found bodies in them. 
 There's no single mark that identifies the pyramids as the tomb of any 
 particular Pharaoh and, to the extent that in some of the pyramids bodies 
 were later found, I think these structures were probably used as tombs by 
 people who came later. I think that whoever created these structures used 
 something that we don't know [about]." 
    Robert Bauval revealed how, at 
 the dawning of the Age of Leo, the air shafts in the Great Pyramid point directly to the stars of Orion.
    Boris continued to point out how the Sphinx looks like 
 a lion, "its got to give you some indication that the people back then knew 
 something we don't know."
    
    Richard adds that we are the descendants of these architects of the 
 Egyptian monuments, whoever they were. He notes that when he first began his 
 research into the Face on Mars in 1983, he remembers the almost 
 unanimous reaction of archeologists when they were shown unidentified 
 pictures of the Martian anomalies. 
    
"The answers ranged from Hanuman, the 
 Indian monkey god, to an aerial view of some pyramid complex in Egypt.. 
 Initially looking at these things, I was thinking in terms of aliens, 
 in terms of other, in terms of visitors to the solar system who had erected 
 a stunning artificial complex on Mars.... Over the ensuing 15 years... my 
 thinking has come perhaps 180� and in good measure because of... John 
 West, Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval." 
    Richard 
    began wondering about the possibilities that the anomalies an Mars 
 perhaps could indeed be related to the monuments in Egypt.
"Which really got me to 
 thinking," he said. "If this stuff on Mars was not alien, if it wasn't 
 somebody else, somebody from way out there, then the comparisons between the 
 architecture we find at 
  
  
  Cydonia on Mars and the ancient enigmatic 
 architecture, bits and pieces of which we have found now all around this 
 planet, maybe make the case for a previous high civilization epic on planet 
 Earth, in which case we could be looking at our stuff, the human race. So I 
 think Boris is very perceptive when he says, ultimately, it's 
 Egyptians that did what we see in Egypt. The only question is, how ancient, 
 ancient, ancient were those Egyptians?"
  
 
    WERE THE PYRAMIDS ON MARS BUILT FOR THE SAME REASON AS THOSE IN GIZA?
    
    Richard says to answer that, one has to examine what the pyramid 
 complex in Egypt was used for,
    "By tracking the numbers, the 
 geometry, the specific angles, the relationship of these things to each 
 other, and their relationship to the sitting of the things here on Earth, 
 particularly the Giza Plateau, we have gotten on the trail of what I 
 call, an old/new physics, which we term hyperdimensional physics. It 
 turns out its the same physics that physicists like Maxwell and 
 others in England were attempting to launch about 100 years ago. 
    
    The numbers 
 at Cydonia, the numbers on Mars, the numbers at Giza, 
 the numbers of many ancient sacred sites all over this planet, are the same 
 numbers that Maxwell and Kelvin and those colleagues back in 
 England 100 years ago were deriving as the basis of the physics of the 19th 
 and 20th century.... The usage of the pyramid complex at Giza appears 
 to have been in service to this physics. These were not tombs, not temples, 
 but potentially, machines, huge machines built of limestone as the working 
 substance, the working material, at a specific site on a rotating planet, 
 such as Cydonia is on a rotating Mars." 
    
    The positioning of the 
 structures was of the utmost importance, having to consider the physics and 
 the interaction of the "pyramid machines" with the planet 
 itself when they were turned on. According to Hoagland, this is all 
 part of
 "a 
 technology which we are just beginning to glimpse again, incredibly ancient, 
 incredibly sophisticated, incredibly arcane. We can only now see the empty 
 shells of what might have been a functioning complex whose purpose we are 
 also just beginning to dimly grasp. But it was light years beyond providing 
 tombs for some egocentric Pharaoh."
    Boris Said agrees, 
 saying, 
"It's very difficult to find fault with Richard's logic," 
 noting that Bauval's concept suggests the pyramids were placed in a 
 position representing the stars of the Orion constellation. 
    Boris is now working with Tom Danley, sonics expert and 
 consultant to NASA, to explore the air shafts leading down 
 into the King's and Queen's chambers, "which have been described by
    Bauval as lining up with the stars of Orion. Quite 
 recently a fellow named Gantenbrink sent a robotic camera up the end 
 of one of those shafts and he found a door with hinges and apparently some 
 space underneath it. What we've been doing is, we've been approaching this 
 problem from a completely different scientific viewpoint. 
We've been 
 testing the sonics of the Great Pyramid. We've 
 known for a long time that if you lie in what they call the sarcophagus, 
 which is that stone box in the King's Chamber cut from a solid piece of 
 granite, and you hum, you hum a scale, for example, there will be certain 
 notes that sound louder and more resonant to you than other notes. And 
 recently we had an opportunity to put sensors all over that pyramid, 
    including the five chambers above the King's Chamber, which I guess 
 we're going to discuss in more detail later, and we found that when we 
 activated the pyramid with hugs speakers and amplifiers in the King's 
 Chamber that all of these sensors resonated, leading us to believe that the 
 entire pyramid was some sort of huge sonic machine."
    Richard equates the pyramid to a pipe organ. The openings of some of 
 the recently discovered air shafts from the King and Queen's Chambers are 
 open now and wind is blowing across them like a pipe organ. When you blow 
 air across an organ pipe you get a certain resonant frequency.
    Richard Hoagland says the builders of the pyramids created hyperdimensional machines, placed at certain latitudes on the 
 spinning planet to excite certain acoustic resonances when the air 
 passed through the open passages.
    
    Boris adds that even if the passages were closed, if you had an 
 internal excitation mechanism, the pyramid as a whole will resonate with 
 certain fundamental tones. The more power, the more energy, the louder the 
 tones. 
"What we proved," says Boris, "was when we got back to the 
 laboratory and analyzed our recordings, we found that there were sounds 
 present in the King's Chamber even when we weren't making any sounds. They 
 were below the audible range, below 20 Hertz, below 20 vibrations per 
 second.... Down as far as half a vibration per second, or half a Hertz. 
  
We found that these lower scales had the same five peaks, and when you 
 plotted the peaks on a graph and raised them three or four octaves to where 
 you could hear them, low and behold, it was the same notes. It was the same 
 chord... an F sharp chord, which the early Egyptian 
 texts suggest was a harmonic of Mother Earth. And I 
 might tell you, coincidentally, and we bring this out in our tape, a lot of 
 Native American makers of sacred flutes, tune their flutes to F sharp. 
 Why? Because it's compatible with the harmony of Mother Earth. 
 Now that's just too big a coincidence."
 
 
    THE PYRAMIDS WERE USED FOR SONIC RESONANCE
    
    Boris continues, 
"We're right now working on a program to replicate 
 the Giza pyramid in a virtual reality state with virtual 
 sound, which we believe will restore, in theory, restore the pyramid to the 
 way it was when the sides were smooth. You know if you think about the wind 
 blowing over the aides of the pyramid, it's like blowing across the mouth of 
 a pop bottle. It makes a hooting sound, it makes a toot, right? You blow 
 across a Coke bottle? Well, we think that's what used to happen with the Great Pyramid. 
  
And we believe that if we can replicate the 
 pyramid, make it smooth, and get rid of the incursions, all of the 
 tunnels.... We believe that maybe the entrance to the pyramid was from the 
 bottom, from down underneath somehow, a long series of tunnels. Because 
 clearly, there was no intrusion into the grand gallery, and we believe that 
 was all part of the giant echo chamber that enhanced the vibrations.... 
 We're gonna try and compare this condition to other pyramids around the 
 world and see whether perhaps that wasn't what they had in mind."
    Richard explains that in resonance theory, 
"it's really the mass and 
 the length of the cavities or chambers that determine the ultimate tones 
 that a structure will produce." 
    He says Boris and his NASA 
    colleagues are on the trail of a theoretical model that Stan Tenen 
    and I have been working on for about ten years relating to the model that 
 the pyramids really were machines designed by an extraordinary physics, much 
 older than the classical Egyptian model, designed to do something 
 interacting with the planet. 
    Now, if you excite these things 
 acoustically, meaning with sound, not from the outside but from the inside, 
 with technology which is now missing because it was all taken away, you got 
 the same effect that Boris is talking about.
"The very structure of the pyramids is calcium carbonate, limestone, which 
 has a certain molecular configuration of the crystal. It's a little 
 tetrahedron made of calcium and carbon atoms, over and over and over 
 again in six million tons of this stuff stacked up in a perfect geometry of 
 the crystal itself called the Great Pyramid. Now if you excite 
 this, if you basically create a tone inside with some kind of huge loud 
 speakers or huge system powered by some energy source... the result is the 
 entire pyramid, all six million tons, will vibrate. It will resonate. It 
 will sound a set of tones, the tones that Danley and Boris are 
 now tracking, in a very faint way." 
Richard envisions the builders of 
 the Pyramid designing it so the amplified tones would literally twist the 
 calcium carbonate crystal back and forth in a rhythmic pattern in such a way 
 that you could also twist space and time itself and 
 potentially create extraordinary changes of consciousness. He goes on to 
 say that, 
"because the pyramid, through the plateau, is anchored to trillions 
 and trillions of tons of this limestone stretching a quarter of a way around 
 the planet to Indonesia, you literally could change the resonant 
 characteristics of Planet Earth itself if you pumped enough 
 energy into the pyramids [serving] as machines at their precise latitude".
    
 
 
    ALL THINGS ARE VIBRATION
    Boris says be doesn't know about hyperdimensional physics and 
 space time travel, but he, 
"loves the work that Richard's doing and I 
 think it should all come together.... What I'm saying is that if you lie in 
 the pyramid and you hum or you chant it's conceivable that you could put 
 yourself into an altered state... There is a very easy way to establish the 
 logic of this argument, and that is to try it out, and that's what we're 
 trying to do. There are sounds .... that tape, you know, that were made 
 inside this King's Chamber, and if nothing else, they're spooky." 
  
    He says 
 they are something different, something we haven't heard, or been exposed to 
 in a long time, although researchers like Don Campbell, a former 
 guest on 21st Century Radio� are showing how vibrations and classical music 
 can be used to assist healing in surgery and in analysis. 
"I think that 
 we're getting to a point," says Boris, "where all of a sudden we're 
 going to find out that vibes is not just a colloquial expression for the New 
 Age.... It's where healing is, it's where altered states are, where 
 awareness is."
